The two rules of software development: - Up-front thinking is Waterfall; we can only learn by shipping - There's no room on the roadmap for rework, so everything needs to be done right the first time Bosses love AI because they think it can give them up-front certainty on the cheap. But it can't.

The fake double diamond is dead. The real double diamond is immortal.
AI is not a substitute for divergent thinking, and the false certainty it gives will never save you from having to iterate.

Something I have a kick out of… just yesterday I saw a reel of someone badgering him about Mitch McConnell and Lindseybreplied he was “on his way to check on him right now.”

I predict at some point after the first week of August we will see McConnell lie in state in the rotunda while the news runs 24/7 puff pieces about what a great-partisan statesman he was 🤮

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.
